Lily, you predictable perv. I knew you’d open this email faster if I tempted you with a glimpse of JT’s “PP”. Well, put your pants back on and grab some bubbly because I have much better news to share.
I GOT A JOB!
As of tomorrow, I’ll be the new executive assistant at Lorena Lefray Designs. I am SO excited, but there’s one itty bitty problem: I won’t be Lorena’s assistant. I’ll be working for her older brother, Julian.
I know what you’re thinking- “But Jo, what’s the problem?”
Google him. Now. He’s the man in the fitted navy suit whose face reminds you that there’s hope yet for this cruel, ugly world. Keep scrolling…Do you see those dimples? Yup. That’s the Julian Lefray I will be reporting to tomorrow morning.
Lord, help us all…
XO,
Jo
REVIEW:
This book was laugh out loud hilarious. I honestly had to pause several times while reading because tears were streaming down my face from how hard I was laughing. R.S. Grey is an absolute master of romantic comedy and I can’t believe I never knew she existed until a friend recommended her to me. This book was like balm to my soul, it has been a while since I read a New Adult romance and this book reminded me why I loved reading and blogging.
Jo is a riot, she a wonderful blend of determination, wit, sass, brains, and beauty. Julian is too sexy for his own good, with brains and a smart-*ss attitude to match. Jo and Julian’s banter had me in a fit of giggles for at least 60% of this book and when they didn’t have me laughing, they were scorching the pages with sexual tension. The chemistry between them is off the charts and I loved watching them dance around each other.
The plot is amazing and relate-able, I simply could not put the book down. As Jo tries to get her foot in the fashion industry and balance bills and student loans, her plate is overflowing. Add in some romance, a quirky landlord, a best friend stuck back in Texas, and the perils of city living and chaos is sure to ensue. I loved the secondary characters and absolutely want each of them to have a story. But the real take away from this book is the light feeling in my heart. This book was breath of fresh air and I haven’t smiled or laughed that much while reading in a while. I absolutely can’t wait to dive into more of R.S. Grey’s books!
